FORTY MILE CREEK. !.

The new diggings on Forty-Mile
creek were first discovered late last
fall by man named Franklin, and
upon his report of the discovery of
coarse gold there, miners on the Stew
art and Salmon rivers pulled out for
that section, and soon nearly 800 men
were on the ground-in fact Forty
Mile creek was the objective point of
all who have gone on to Yukon this
season. This stream empties
into the Yukon river about
a hundred miles below Fort
Reliance, having it's source in the
Alaskan range of mountains on the
east divide and to the east Of Mount
st. Elias, and the headwaters of Cop
per river. Running from Copper river
to the east is an immense copper belt
sixty miles wide, and it has been
traced oyer the divide hundred
miles. The diggings on Forty-MiIe
commence about three miles up from
the mouth, and are continuous for
ninety miles up as far as this sum-
mers explorations extended. Several
OF the small tributaries putting into
the main stream were somewhat ex-
plored and found to be rich, but the
scarcity Of water in them for washing
is prevailing drawback. Bars worked
along the main stream yielded we'll.

GOLD MINING.
The Yukon Region in
Alaska.
RICH ARIZONA FIND.
Miners on Forty-Mile Creek, AL
aska, Wash Out 26 Ounces
Blue Mountains, Arizona.

VICTORIA, b. c., October 2.-The
Idaho arrived from Sitka last evening.
having on board number of miners
from the Yukon region, all of whom
have from $500 to $4,000, as the result
OF the seasons work. From the
Alaska Free Press of the 18th Septem-
Der the following news of Yukon
mines is extracted:
The general formation on the upper
Yukon, is slate, lime and porphyry.
In this formation many veins Of gold
and silver-bearing quartz have been
found, but as yet they remain unno-
ticed by miners, and they have rarely
taken the trouble to break open 3
piece of quartz to examine it. Quartz
carrying an abundance of free gold
was picked up this summer on Forty
Mile creek, but its source is as yet not
discovered-in fact unprospected for
rich gravel bars alone being
the attraction. In some places
these latter are indeed rich,
some miners during this summer hav-
ing rocked out as high as thirteen
ounces in day at the new diggings
on Forty-Mile creek. All the way
from $40 to thirteen ounces per day
for each man, all very coarse gold,
the market price in Juneau of which
is about $17 per ounce. Two nuggets
were washed out of SIS and $32 value.
1t is estimated that in the neighbor-
hood of $100, 900 were washed out of
these diggings this summer. All the
miners with the exception of those
who did no washing to speak of, but
spent their time prospecting, rocked
out from $4OO to $1,000 in
dust. This gold was mainly
taken out of creek beds and very near
to running water; for in no case could
the miners wash further back than
four feet into the gravel banks on &C
count of encountering hard frozen
ground. Gold rather lies in punches
than otherwise. As one miner in
formed us, several shovels of dirt
could. be taken up which would con-
tain nothing but few colors, while
another would yield perhaps an ounce.
The richest deposits lay behind boul-
ders and drifts. On one bar three men
had rocked out on the 25th day of
July twenty-six ounces, which can be
considered as the extent of the wash
ing season. High waters are draw
back in the early spring and streams
commence to freeze up about the 1st
Of October.

AN INTERESTING LETTER


L ~ ssAsOA
New York.
EpIToRs HERALD-A late New Yorf
Tribune has a telegram from Sar
Francisco saying that the Atchisor
road carried Is 900 and the Southern
Pacific 10000 passengers to Southern
California during November. The
telegram complains Of determinations
| in favor of Los Angeles and against
San Francisco. Fares are lower, it
says, to Los Angeles via Ogden than
to San Francisco, 400 miles nearer
Ogden. How long, oh! how long Los
Angeles has had to wait for such a
state Of affairs! Los Angeles has be-
come the great railway center of the
Pacific coast. TO hold that vantage
ground should be the aim Of her citi-
zens.

rhirty-ninth street, is massive
building of pressed buff brick. There
are seventeen entrances. The audito-
rum is not gaudy and loud like Tai

Immense. Professor Redway says it
is far more perfect in its acoustic
properties and much more beautiful
than the Grand Opera House in Paris.
He saws in the latter place the money
was expended on the entrance and on
the grand staircase. In the Metro
politan Opera House nothing has been
done in outside display. There are
l22 boxes. and they were all filed
with homely women id brilliant full
dress. The friend who was with me
is an old-time New York, and he ac-
know lodged he never Saw greater
scarcity Of beauty than in the gor-
geous display that night. The music
was thrillingly grand, and the
spectacular effect far surpassed
anything I had ever seen. One
feature was the return OF the
Cru .adera; as troop after troop
marched in with banners, huzzas and
martial music the audience were
worked up 10 a great pitch of enthu-
.iasm, which reached it's climax az q
troop Of cavalry went riding across
the stage.
The elimination Of the opera was
the boiling Of q cnuple of Jews. The
delicious effect of this diversion was
somewhat married by the discovery
that one of the victims was the
daughter Of the Cardinal who had
ordered the co king.

UNCLE SANS DAUGHTERS.
How the Girls in the Treasury Department
Enjoy a Filtration.

Some time ago the chief clerk of the
treasury department issued an order
prohibiting clerks from visiting and
promenadlng the corridors during bust
ness hours. Prior to this regulation
the treasury girls spent considerable
tiEe in visiting each other and in walk
ing ~leisurely around the corridors with
favorlte masculine clerks, says the
Philadelphia Ledger. For a time the
new order efectually suppressed the
abuse aimed at, as all persons found
visiting and walking about idly were
reported to the chief clerk.
The order still produces good re-
suits, yet many male and female clerks
with a disposition for Irritation have
devised "A plan by which they can en-
joy a promenade Of a mile without be-
ing detected by the minions of the
chief clerk. The treasury building is
about 800 by 200 feet in dimensions.
1t is quadrangular in form, with a CEN
raj wing stretching from east to west,
thus converting the building into a
Ouble quadrangle.
Two elevators. located in different
corners of the Building, convey all
corners from floor to floor. The length
Of the corridors in each story extended
in a straight line is a full quarter of d
mile. and as there are four stories we
lave a full mile of corridors, forming,
with their tiled floors, frescoed walls
and vaulted ceilings, Il most charming
promenade. To be found lettering on
any particular floor is to insure = re-
port and reprimand, and repetition of
the offense brings admonitioD of sus-
pense or discharge.
Some Of the girls of the treasury are
smart. as we'll as pretty, and have de-
vised a plan by which they may join
each other and their beaux withoutfear
of the chief clerk and his sentinels.
Meeting at an appointed hour and
place, these couples will promenade
the entire length of the corridor of one
floor. and then, taking separate ele-
vators SO as to avoid detection, will
proceed to the next floor, and leisurely
continue their '.spooning" while they
make the circuit of its corridors. This
repeated until they have traversed the
corridors of the four floors, when each
will repair 10 his or her proper divis-
ion, using both elevators for this pur-
pose. having walked : mile, killed a
half hours time, knocked out the eve
Of the chief clerk" and had a .~.lovely
time while so engaged.

His Righteousness and all other things

do not want to be mean in this matter.
Give God the freshness of your life.
You will not have the heart to drink
down the trimming cup of life and
then pour the dregs on Gods altar. To
a Saviour SO infinitely generous you
have not the heart to act like that.
That is not brave, that is not honor
able, that is not manly. Your greatest
want in al the world is a new heart.
In Gods name l tell you that. And
the Blessed Spirit presses through the
solemnities and privileges of this holy
hour. Put the cup of life eternal to
your thirsty lips. Thrust it not back.
Mercy offers it, bleeding mercy, long
suffering mercy. Reject all other
friendships, be ungrateful for all other
kindness. prove recreant to all other

wandering vagabond staggering over
the earth, it is a winged messenger of
the skies whispering mercy to thy soul.

THE BETTER CHOICE.
Many years ago | stood on the ami
versary platform with a minister OF
Christ who made this remarkable state
ment:
Thirty years ago two young men
started out in the evening 10 attend
Park theater, New York. where a play
was W DC dCtCd III WHICH Vic CAUSE Ol
religion was to be placed in a ridicu.
lous and hypocritical light. They came
to the steps. The consciences of both
smote them. One started to 90 home
but returned again to the door and ye,
had not courage to enter and finally de.
parted. But the other young maH
entered the pit of the Sheater. 1t was
the turning point in the history OF
those two young men. The mar who
entered was caught in the whirl OF
temptation. He sank deeper and
deeper in infamy. He was lost. The
other young man was saved, and he
now stands before you to bless Goo
that for twenty years he has been per
United to preach the gospel"
"Rejoice, o young man, in thy
youth, and let thy heart cheer thee IL
the days of thy youth; but know thou
that for all these things God Will bring
thee into judgment"
